Anson Calder Opens First Retail Location In Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Anson Calder has announced its first permanent retail location in Salt Lake City, Utah. The store located in City Creek Center comes on the heels of a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign and three consecutive pop-up locations in Las Vegas and New York City.

The company continues to see increased sales both online and in-store and is expanding its executive gifting program and wholesale efforts. More importantly, Anson Calder is applying customer feedback to develop new products that adapt to all the ways people live, work, and travel.

"Salt Lake City means a lot to me. I grew up in the area and it's great to be back," said Calder. "In addition to high-end shopping, this city's booming tech talent wants professionalism and minimalism. We offer both and so far, the response we've received here has been amazing. Our sales numbers have exceeded expectations, but the best part for us is seeing the same customers returning. We're looking forward to expanding our product line and creating an in-store experience that people love."

Anson Calder has also announced several new products to its current line. A new Backpack featuring the company's unique organizational system has been a long-time request from customers. It will begin shipping in December for $1,350 USD. A new customizable, minimalist Toiletry Kit will also make its debut the same month, bringing a fresh approach to travel by letting customers expand and design the components they need. And a brand new leather Tote bag that makes everyday items more accessible will be available for $900 USD.

Anson Calder also added to its incredibly successful wallet lineup with a Cash Zipper Wallet designed to hold cards, cash, or even car keys in a slimmed down design. A brand new Bifold Coin Wallet features a quintessential Anson Calder design with a zipperless, buttonless coin compartment that automatically seals when the bifold wallet closes. And a reimagined Business Card Wallet is specifically designed to keep the edges of cards from fraying -- a common complaint among business travelers. All of the wallets feature Anson Calder's patent-pending push slot, and they all come with the option to include RFID protection.

"We believe that the more we listen to our customers, the better our products get," said Calder. "Everyone wants their everyday items to work flawlessly and simply. And for us, that means taking a look at how our customers live, work, and travel. We're essentially trying to bring more functionality into their lives, and that means designing things that they tell us they need and want."

Founded in 2015, Anson Calder designs a wide range of wallets and bags with a unique approach to product design stemming from founder Curtis Calder's belief that form and function don't have to be mutually exclusive. Anson Calder sources its high-quality leather from a 16^th century French tannery, but it's the company's minimalist, patented attachment system, that lets customers customize their own bags from an array of cases and pouches designed around the unique ways they live and travel. Anson Calder's patent-pending push slot on each of its wallets introduces the same level of functionality. It's a design philosophy that Calder calls "Engineered Luxury™" and is carving out a new market niche as well as a cult following.
